----- README
To install from a tar.bz2 distribution:

   4. Run ./configure, with some options if you wish.  The only interesting
      one is the usual --prefix=/where/you/want/it/installed.

----- configure
ac_default_prefix=/usr/local

	. . .

Installation directories:
   --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
                           [$ac_default_prefix]
   --exec-prefix=EPREFIX   install architecture-dependent files in EPREFIX
                           [PREFIX]

By default, \`make install' will install all the files in
\`$ac_default_prefix/bin', \`$ac_default_prefix/lib' etc.

So by default you should look for  /usr/local/bin/valgrind .
Often you would put  /usr/local/bin  as one of the paths in your
  $PATH  shell environment variable.
